I need the Cheap Dinosaurs release in a really bad way. Wonder if there's any way to get it without being at a show.
Here's what the dude that made that video had to say:
"The Gakken SX-150 stylus gets the CV and GATE information from the ribbon-like slider pad.
I just connected the Novation BassStation Rack CV and GATE out to the stylus and voilà! - have my MIDI controlled Gakken.
The cheapest way to do this is to cut a patch cable in half, took the plastic bits off the wire coming from the tips of the jacks, roll them together and stick the Gakken's stylus into.
You may notice that it only works if the BassStation's CV type set to '00' (Roland/Sequential/Arp) - because of the voltage and plug the Gakken SX's out to a mixer rather than using the built in speaker - this is needed as the ground.
I believe this works with other MIDI-to-CV converters too."
Mahon is a legend. That Cratesynth he built was really cool. Here's his webpage: http://home.comcast.net/~mjmahon/ It's got some great A2 stuff on it as well as some info on his sound editor and RTSynth.
Apple IIc ($30+, portable, but not expandable) + You can get a "Cricket" sound module and runs most software
Have you found any "Cricket" modules lately? I used to look around for them all the time, that and the mockingboard, but gave up after a while. I'm about to just dump my //c... I can't justify having it around if I don't start using it more. Isn't there a file transfer interface for the //c around now as well? I guess it's about time I dust if off and start doing some more research. 
[edit] also, I have a IIgs Midi card that I bought thinking I could install it in the //c, I don't have a IIgs so, I guess I could sell it to one of you gs dudes if you wanted, it comes with a diskette as well (drivers/software). When I get home tonight I'll check what card and disk it is.
I've got a //c that I mess around on quite a bit. I'm still trying to find a tracker for it... I'm getting tired of Music Construction Set. There isn't much out there when it comes to the //c...
